Paul Hille has been competing for 18 years. His best event is the Pyraminx: a personal-best single of 17.37, set at Zwolle Open 2017, puts him in the top 88.6% of the 129,321 people who have ever been ranked in the event, and 1,177th in the Netherlands. Across 15 competitions since November 2008, he has put 119 official solves on the record across three events. Solve to solve, his 3×3 times vary about 16% around a typical one; 94% of the 35,811 competitors with ten or more counted rounds hold a tighter spread. That figure sets aside his 7 DNFs. His 3×3 best has come down from 1:24.75 in November 2008 to 58.71, a 31% improvement. Paul has entered 15 competitions, more competitions than 95% of everyone who has ever competed.

Reading this page: a single is one solve's time · an average is the middle three of five solves, best and worst discarded · a PB is a personal best · a DNF (did not finish) is an attempt with no valid result: a popped piece, an unsolved face, an over-limit memorisation · top X% compares against everyone ever ranked in that event, which is fairer than raw rank because event pools differ tenfold.
